Shopping South of the Border Is Now Just as Convenient as Shopping Here at Home!

RBC's Cross-Border Debit service is an easy and secure alternative to carrying large amounts of cash when you travel. All you need is your Client Card and Personal Identification Number (PIN) to access your primary Canadian banking or savings account* and make purchases at any of the 1,000,000 merchants in the U.S. that use the NYCE network.

Cross-Border Debit costs $1.00 per transaction, although depending on your banking package, you may already have this service included.

Travel Tip

If you plan on using your Client Card outside Canada, ensure you have a chip Client Card and consider selecting a PIN composed of four numbers as many international ATMs, and retailers only accept a four-digit numeric PIN. To ensure ultimate convenience and accessibility to funds, you should carry more than one form of payment, such as a credit card or some local currency.
